As a chef's knife the G-4 is suitable for most kitchen tasks, slicing, dicing and chopping. There is very little difference in performance between the G-4 and the classic chef knife, the G-2. The difference is cosmetic, i.e. the kink in the blade. This gives the knife an 'oriental' styling, but it bears no meaning to the function of the knife. It is not designed specifically for oriental food, or oriental ways of using a knife, it is just a different shape of cook's knife. It does have a nice upward curve to the blade, which when cutting with the knife allows it to rock up and down on the chopping board, a bit like a mezzaluna.
The shape has been so popular that the second new series of Global knives, the Global NI series, has been based on this knife design. The G-4 also comes in a fluted version as the G-66 and in a smaller size as the GS-58.
Many Japanese knife manufacturers traditionally produced a specialist knife with one-side grinding known as “Kiritsuke”. It required considerable skill to use effectively, and in many Japanese restaurants, only the head chef was allowed to use one. The Kiritsuke Knife thus became considered to be a symbol of expertise, status and seniority.
Feeding off this tradition, Global ® Knives proceeded to engineer a Double-Edged version of the Kiritsuke in their Classic series to fashion a very versatile knife. This knife can be used to perform most of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto or Chef’s Knife, but also those of the Nakiri and Sujihiki. It has less curvature than the typical Gyuto, making it less suited for “rocking action chopping” but perfect for a “push and pull” cutting action. The tip of the blade is particularly suitable for fine dicing and chopping.
Originally developed for the Roux Scholarship judges, only a further 500 of these exclusive knives have been produced so far and are available on a first come first served basis!
These fish bone tweezers are designed for removing small bones from raw fillets of fish without damaging the delicate flesh. The GS-29 has a fatter design than the other tweezers in the deboning tweezer range from GLOBAL, giving a comfortable thumb grip. The ends perfectly touch, allowing you to grip the most stubborn bones and effortlessly pull them out. These tweezers work especially well with larger fish like salmon or trout.
If you needed just one knife for your kitchen go for a quality chefs knife and if you are going for Global buy the G-2. The G-2 is the best-selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made! It can slice, dice, chop, and really do anything that you need. A multi-purpose all round blade that is included in virtually every knife set produced. It has won dozens of awards over the years testifying to the popularity of the blade. Global (represented by the G-2) has won the Which? Best Knife category 3 times in a row.
The GS-5 is the little brother of the G-5 vegetable chopper, with the same shape of blade in a smaller proportion. These knives take their inspiration from Japanese Usaba (Vegetable Knives), the relatively flat parts of the blade are designed to chop through fruit and vegetables and come into full contact with the chopping board and give a clean cut. The front of the blades are more curved like a chef's knife, to allow the knife to be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage good technique.
The GSF-15 is the most popular petty knife in the Global range and is very often found in set combinations. Its little 8cm blade is good for all those small kitchen tasks, peeling, cutting fruit and small delicate kitchen work.
The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace.
In true GLOBAL tradition, the knife is constructed from the best Stainless Steel material and the UKON series features thicker blades to enhance performance. UKON knives are subject to even more precise grinding and finishing work, making them 10 percent sharper out of the box. The knives are designed with an ambidextrous thumb rest that sits closer to the blade for added control and efficiency. The underside of the handle features GLOBAL's trademark indentations, making UKON knives extremely comfortable to hold.
The Global Ukon GUF-30 Paring Knife is a must-have tool for any professional chef. It can be used for a wide variety of kitchen tasks from simple slicing and light peeling, to skilled intricate work. The small, forged blade makes the knife extremely robust and great for hand peeling, precision cuts and garnishing. It is also useful for deveining shrimp or removing seeds.
This versatile knife is handy for smaller precision tasks like peeling, trimming and slicing small fruits and vegetables.
The GSF-18 is a knife specially designed for use with shellfish, we would not really recommend it for any other use. The short blade is designed to get inside the shell of an oyster or scallop to cut the connection between the two halves of the shell. The short blade is designed to withstand this heavy kind of twisting, where a longer knife might break.
The G-8 is more or less the G-9 bread knife without the serrations, but it makes a great carving knife, as it has a long and narrow blade. This carving knife makes excellent work of joints with no bones in. It will allow you to cut thin even slices of meat, so works best with hams, joints of beef, salmon and any de-boned lamb. It is a worthy alternative to the G-3, although we would suggest if you are looking for the standard carving knife to go for the G-3.

The Global Ukon GU-03 Bread Knife has a long, serrated blade, perfect for slicing through thick crusty bread loaves and soft bread rolls. The GU-03 is also great for slicing soft fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes because the serrated blade glides into the delicate skin, preventing you from crushing the juicy inner layer, leaving a nice clean finish.
